Step-by-step guide
How to connect Google Tasks to Salesforce
Follow these steps to set up your integration. The entire process takes under 5 minutes.
What you'll need
- An active Google Tasks account
- An active Salesforce account with API access enabled
- A free DeskFerry account (sign up takes 30 seconds)
- Admin or API access in Salesforce to authorize the connection
- Step 01
Create your DeskFerry account
Sign up at deskferry.app — it takes 30 seconds and starts a 7-day free trial. You'll land on the dashboard where you can create your first workflow.
- Step 02
Authenticate Google Tasks
Click "Add Connection" and select Google Tasks from the app directory. You'll be redirected to Google Tasks's authorization page. Grant DeskFerry access to your workspaces, databases, pages, and tasks. You select which workspaces the integration can read and write to.
- Step 03
Authenticate Salesforce
Same process for Salesforce. Click "Add Connection," select Salesforce, and authorize access. Grant DeskFerry read/write access to your contacts, deals, and pipeline data. You choose which objects the integration can access.
- Step 04
Choose your trigger
Select what event starts the workflow. For this integration, popular triggers include: new item created in google tasks or new contact created in salesforce. The trigger fires automatically whenever that event happens — no manual intervention.
- Step 05
Configure the action
Define what happens when the trigger fires. For example: create contact in salesforce. Map the data fields between Google Tasks and Salesforce so the right information lands in the right place.
- Step 06
Test and activate
Run a test to confirm data flows correctly between Google Tasks and Salesforce. Check that the fields map as expected, then toggle the workflow on. It runs 24/7 from here — DeskFerry handles retries, error logging, and monitoring automatically.

FAQ
Frequently asked questions
How do I connect Google Tasks to Salesforce?
Sign up for a free DeskFerry account, then click "Add Connection" to authenticate both Google Tasks and Salesforce via OAuth. Choose a workflow template — like syncing productivity events to crm actions — customize the field mapping, and activate. The entire setup takes under 5 minutes.
What can I automate between Google Tasks and Salesforce?
You can automate a wide range of workflows: sync new Google Tasks events to Salesforce actions, trigger Salesforce updates when Google Tasks data changes, create Salesforce records from Google Tasks events, and build conditional workflows with filters and field mapping. Each workflow runs 24/7 with automatic retries.
Is the Google Tasks and Salesforce integration free?
DeskFerry's 7-day free trial is enough to prove the workflow out. If your Google Tasks-to-Salesforce workflows need more volume, paid plans start at $49/month with unlimited workflows and priority execution.
Is my Google Tasks data secure when connected to Salesforce?
Yes. DeskFerry uses OAuth 2.0 for authentication — we never store your Google Tasks or Salesforce passwords. All data is encrypted in transit (TLS 1.3) and at rest (AES-256). Your productivity data is only accessed when a workflow runs, and you can revoke access at any time from your DeskFerry dashboard.
Can I sync data both ways between Google Tasks and Salesforce?
Yes. You can set up workflows that trigger from either Google Tasks or Salesforce. For example, create a workflow where Google Tasks events update Salesforce, and a separate one where Salesforce changes sync back to Google Tasks. Each direction is configured independently so you have full control.
Do I need technical skills to connect Google Tasks and Salesforce?
No coding is required. DeskFerry's builder is prompt-based: you describe the trigger and what should happen in plain English, and the agent handles the field mapping. If you can use Google Tasks and Salesforce, you can set up the integration. Most users are running their first workflow within 10 minutes.
